Siphon pot is a similar chemical instrument, but also has a performance nature of coffee brewing equipment, although brewing takes a long time, but can get a cup of bright and clean coffee! In many experiments before Qianjie, there were articles such as the comparison of siphon pots, which mentioned the main points of siphon pot coffee brewing, but some points were not mentioned because it was not the mainstream way of coffee brewing. So Qianjie today would like to share another article on siphon pot coffee brewing, and talk about the main points of siphon pot brewing in detail!

Siphon kettle: an appliance for brewing with scientific principles

How does the siphon pot work? When the water is heated in the lower seat of the siphon pot, the gas will begin to flow out, and the vacuum in the lower seat will cause the water to move to the upper seat. When the fire in the lower seat goes out, the air at the bottom begins to cool, bringing the coffee back to the lower seat. Although it sounds complicated, it is not that difficult to operate it all at once (of course, it is difficult to make siphon coffee delicious and stable).

What kind of coffee can be brewed in a siphon pot?

This method combines soaking (such as French kettle) and trickling brewing (such as V60 filter cup) to make a full-bodied and clear coffee. The siphon pot is very suitable for giving full play to the quality of coffee, and the balance of flavor and taste makes siphon coffee so unique.

Qianjie coffee brewing parameters-powder quantity 15g, water temperature 90 ℃, powder / water ratio: 1:15, medium grinding (BG 6l: China standard No. 20 sieve pass rate 80%)

First, boil in water and clean the filter. Place it at the bottom of the upper seat and hook the filter to the bottom of the glass tube. Add 225ml boiling water to the lower seat and turn on the heat source. Place the upper seat above the lower seat. When the water rises from the lower seat to the upper seat, grind 15 grams of coffee beans and use a medium-fine grind slightly smaller than the hand to brew.

Once all the water rises to the upper seat, lower the heat source as much as possible, and the water will not drop as a result. Stir a few times to cool the water in the upper seat (the ideal temperature is between 90 and 96 degrees). Pour the coffee into the water in the upper seat and start the clock, and stir the coffee powder with a stirring stick or spoon, soaking all the coffee powder with minimal disturbance.

Leave the coffee brewing process undisturbed for about 90 seconds (depending on the brewing formula, perhaps shorter), then turn off and remove the heat source, and stir the coffee several times. When the coffee in the upper seat begins to cool, it starts to flow to the lower seat, which may take dozens of seconds, and when the descent process is completed, the coffee in the lower seat will bubble because of the air the remaining coffee inhales.

After removing the glass from the upper seat, let the coffee cool (the coffee brewed from the siphon pot is usually hotter), and some people will use Chemex to help. Finally, don't forget to maintain the filter after cleaning the upper seat. if you are using a filter cloth, you need to boil it in hot water and place it in the refrigerator after cooling, so that there will be no residual smell and prevent the filter cloth from drying and becoming brittle.
